Which of the following convictions disqualifies an individual from receiving a FOID card?

  1. A felony

  2. A speeding ticket

  3. A DUI conviction

  4. A parking violation

The correct answer is: A felony

A felony conviction disqualifies an individual from receiving a FOID card because a felony is a serious criminal offense that indicates a high level of risk for gun ownership. It involves more severe consequences and potentially dangerous behavior than a speeding ticket, DUI conviction, or parking violation. Therefore, these other convictions do not automatically disqualify someone from receiving a FOID card.
